PROBLEM 1:

PROBLEM 3:

The boom supports the tow vertical loads. Neglect the size of
the collars at A and B and the thickness of the boom.
Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the
force at the pin at A and the force in cable CB.

Determine the support reactions for equilibrium state to

exist.

Set F1 =800N, F2 =350N, a =1.5m, b =1m, c =3, d =4 & =30.
